September 29, 2007

Good Saturday morning, and the last Saturday of September at that. Yes, the close of yet another month is upon us...which brings us closer to - Christmas! Everyone feel free to spin a few Christmas records on the stereo this morning. I realize that some of you might pause to wonder what in the world a "record" is, but trust me, at one time they were all the rage.

One reason I look forward to Christmas is that some time before that the first freeze will occur. After that my allergy-induced sneeze attacks will stop and that is something to look forward to each year. Okay, that has passed, time to get on with writing. Another sign of autumn is the increasing affection of my black cat. No it isn't a Halloween thing, he just uses me to warm up; I suppose it's good to useful for something. :-)

I see that Democrats are making news by courting the votes of evangelical Christians these days. There is good and bad in that. It is good that Christians are voting and becoming involved in government. However, we want the political candidates to come to Christ, not to us. I don't want to be thought of as just a vote; I want everyone to be saved. I do not seek to institute a theocracy, that will come in due time upon Jesus' return. I want to be able to pray in school, in the public square, and give honor to God. I want the murder of babies to stop and the worship of Jesus to begin. Other than those things, I can see that I have much in common with the political candidates. :-) How many times in the past elections have we voted for the best of a bad bunch? I wonder if any of the candidates would respond to a letter. It might be interesting to see the result of that. I will keep you posted on this.

Peace, hope, and joy to all of you this autumn season.
